rakeupdate

RakeUpdate is a well established rakeback affiliate although you may be unaware of the brand name. RakeUpdate are typically the backend of many poker affiliates. This basically means that they do all the gritty technical work behind the scenes, usually the raketracking software, whilst other affiliates worry about marketing and making a rakeback website. Perhaps the most famous of these that use RakeUpdate is RakeReduction.Com this is why RakeUpdate doesn't actually have their own frontend site. However don't underestimate RakeUpdate just because their site may not be as visually pretty as it's competitors as the deals it offers and it's customer service compares well. You will always get a reply to any questions you have within a few hours and they also offer support via various instant messengers e.g. MSN messenger.

Exclusive Promotions

RakeUpdate offer a competitive number of promotions in comparison to other affiliates with some good value freerolls and rake races, the highlight being $75k in extra promotions across 4 different rooms. This is split $25k a month in extra promotions at Full Tilt, Cake Poker and the Cereus Poker Network. They also have a $2k rake race for all of their other rooms however this is highly competitive as you have to compete with players from all the other networks and so does not offer good value. They also offer a unique promotion in the form of their optional Weekly Loose Change Freeroll, although it is not really a freeroll rather a guaranteed tournament with a large overlay. This tournament is hosted on the Full Tilt Client but is available to all their players even if you don't play on Full Tilt or if you have a Full Tilt account but it is not tracked to RakeUpdate. They will stock the tournament with $2500.00 each week on day 1 (Thursday). Every night, anyone who is opted in they will clear your "loose change" from your rakeback and add it to the prize pool. For example, if your balance is $48.13, they will then take your .13 and add it to the prize pool leaving you with a balance of $48.00. They do this everyday, for 7 days (Thursday Through Wednesday). Please note this is optional and you can opt out.

Rakeback Tracking System

RakeUpdate has it's own online rakeback tracking system where you can track how much rakeback you are due on a daily basis. Although it is not as visually pretty as its competitors it does the job and lays out all the data in easily understandable tables. You are also given the option of cashing out your rakeback via a number of different methods including Neteller and Moneybookers as well as player transfers on the larger poker networks.
